A bug in the animal attack routines has been fixed . This means that animals can now attack characters whilst travelling.

*SCREAMS*
Of all the illogical features of the game, the ability to travel safely was the one I used the most. But now, since it came to be a bug, and not intentional, that safety is gone.
Questions: Are people in vehicles supposed to be attacked by animals, or is that still safe? And are people in boats going to be beaten by animals they can't hunt back?

It was always a bug
The code for travelling animal attacks was always there it just was not working correctly
At the moment characters on all vehicles are immune from animal attack whether they are travelling or not , this includes boats.

I'm happy for any change that spices up the mind-numbing dullness that is travelling.

1400 - 9 An elephant steps on you while you are travelling. You take 83 damage. Your shield is useless against the attack, you should have worn a hat.
Yup, that's how I want to spice up travel.
This fix puts at least one of my characters (wandering on Burgeo) in mortal danger, and changes the actions of almost all the characters on at least Burgeo and Aki. My Burgeo character is just gonna die, which is fine by me, but others may not be so blasie. My Aki character won't be happy untill certain things she had planned are handled ahead of schedual now.
Ah well. No such thing as a free ride.

Nha, we'll survive. We only have bears, boar, wolves, cheetahs, horses, cows, deer and pelicans to worry about.
Those poor sods on Burgeo have elephants. You do NOT want to be walking down the road in front of an elephant. You even more do NOT want to be walking down the road BEHIND an elephant.

I'm getting pummeled at the moment, but I'm not travelling. However, it seems that the animals overall have gotten a bit more agressive...at least in some places.
